Springtime, mow or less.

Ah, springtime. Flowers and trees in bloom, warm weather, bliss. Well, except for that "having to mow the lawn" thing.

Sure enough, I celebrated today's 75-degree weather by hauling the mower out of storage and putting it to good use (well, "to use") in the front yard, making sure to avoid the areas where I had crocuses come up, thereby allowing the crocus leaves to stay uncut so they can build the bulbs back up for next year. And I was reminded that every winter, I forget about my allergy to cut grass and dust. sigh. I made it though all of the front yard before I was simultaneously sneezing and so bored that I couldn't stand it any more. I'll doubtless start on the back yard tomorrow.
